## Add recipients

Use **Ajouter un destinataire** and enter their name and email. Check addresses before selecting **Envoyer pour signature**. Sending is separate from creating the request.

## Track the request

Reopen its record to review recipients, status and creation/completion dates. A created but unsent document has not yet been submitted to recipients.

## Common difficulties

If upload fails, check that the file is a PDF and meets the displayed limit. If sending is unavailable, check recipients and required fields.

## Expected outcome

The request contains the correct PDF and recipients; its state reflects the progress shown by CISAPP.
